On December 8, Maoming High-Tech Zone announced projects planned as part of the ethylene upgrading project: the originally approved plan for this project called for the construction of facilities capable of producing 400,000 tons per year of full-density polyethylene (with room for metallocene polyethylene production), 200,000+300,000 tons per year of polypropylene, 240,000 tons per year of hydrogen peroxide, 300,000 tons per year of propylene oxide, and 500,000 tons per year of ABS, along with the corresponding utility systems and auxiliary facilities. In line with the principle of land conservation, the high-tech zone requires that the land used not exceed 2,500 mu. Through planning by Maoshan Petrochemical Company, the originally reserved 500 mu was also allocated for new projects. These include 14 projects such as a 250,000-ton/year polystyrene plant, a 30,000-ton/year mPAO plant, a 100,000-ton/year POE plant, a 100,000-ton/year plant for the polymerization of ethylene to produce 1-octene, a 100,000-ton/year project for graft modification of polypropylene, a 100,000-ton/year diisoinonyl cyclohexanedicarboxylate plant, a 15,000-ton/year alkyl naphthalene plant, a 20,000-ton/year isoparaffinic solvent oil plant, a 40,000-ton/year EPDM rubber plant, a pilot plant for research and development, a storage and transportation tank area along with loading platforms in the southern area, a 100,000-ton/year polyoxyethylene ether plant, a 50,000-ton/year plant for adhesive and resin modification, and a 20,000-ton/year 1,3-propanediol plant. All projects are incorporated into Nanhai Fine Chemicals Company for joint implementation.
